The Bliss of Blessing as God Intended is a LIVE course starting Term 4 Session 2 (8:30–9:45 pm EST) 4/6/2020.

Course Description

The word 'blessing' is one of the most often used words in religious speech, yet one of the most difficult to define. It is a prayer? Is the meaning the same in both the OT & NT? When we say "God bless you!" what are we really saying? We will trace the meaning of 'blessing' throughout the Bible and related tradition.
